Chicken jockey rider takes suffocation damage if chicken is close to wall

This also causes Chicken Jockeys to be able to attack through doors, effectively invaliding them in villages. When I first loaded up 14w02a, I was greeted to a Chicken Jockey killing one of my villagers through the door. I saw him die through the window, with nothing else inside. I assume this specific report would end up a duplicate, although I'm not sure specifically of what cause, so I'll wait to see where the duplicate marker goes and carry my information along with it.

Is this still an issue in 14w04b ?

Just tested it, yes it is still an issue. In one instance the chicken pressed itself into a corner which suffocated the zombie, in another instance the chicken rotated itself to face away from the wall without moving away from the wall, which placed the zombie in the wall enough to suffocate it.

Just change the rate of which a chicken lays eggs, it can turn down the use of chicken farms.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.9 / Launcher version 1.3.11 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

While illuminating the nether I suddenly heard a baby zombie pigman taking damage. I just saw a baby pigman riding a chicken a moment before, so I checked and saw him suffocating in a block of netherrack the chicken was standing underneath. The baby pigman died and dropped a gold nugget. Snapshot 19w03c.
